Liverpool forward is backed to step up for Liverpool if Mohamed Salah leaves, but fitness remains a big challenge.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has enjoyed Mohamed Salah's productivity for the Reds this season but may need to find a replacement for the star man in the coming months

If this is Mohamed Salah’s final season at Liverpool, he is going out in style. The Egypt striker scored his 50th European goal for Liverpool and his 22nd in all competitions this season to help Arne Slot’s team secure a place in the Champions League round of 16 with a 2-1 win against Lille.

Mohamed Salah’s 35th-minute strike in Liverpool’s 4-1 win over Ipswich Town at Anfield took the Egyptian king to 19 goals in 22 league matches this season. It was also his 176th goal in the league which moves him past Arsenal legend Thierry Henry (175) in the Premier League’s all-time goal scoring chart to seventh place.

Liverpool star Diogo Jota heaped praise on Mohamed Salah in an exclusive interview with ESPN, saying he should be considered one of the greatest players in the club's history.

Mohamed Salah's future beyond the end of this season is uncertain and he is being linked with a move to Al-Hilal, but he clearly has plenty to offer at the highest level
